If you don't like love stories with funny and sarcastic characters, then you won't like this book. If you're a more blood/politics people then don't try this book, no matter how much everyone tells you to read it, because you won't like it and you'll talk crap about it, and this book deserves better. I don't think its the best book ever, I don't usually read this kind of books because they're romantic and stuff, but I decided to read it because (I wanted to be popular?) everyone was talking about it and I was curious. I liked it, even though I'm not a romance person. It wasn't that romantic, and the ending...I definitely didn't see that coming, maybe that's why I liked it (and cried) so much.
About the edition...I prefer the blue one with the clouds, and hardback if possible, but this one is cute too.
Sorry for the bad english :'(show more

Well, a friend convinced me to try this book... going on and on about how much I would love it.
Even though she knows I hate both romance, and touchy feely stuff.
Yes, I am a chick who despises 'chick flicks', 'romantic literature' etc.
The only romantic book I ever really loved was 'Villette'.
So, this book. Like the majority of 'New York Times Best Sellers', I was so bored with the writing, that I didn't finish the first chapter.
Didn't care for what I had read of the story so far either.
I gave it a one for my personal preference, but I'm sure it's at least a three if you like that stuff. I wouldn't give it more than that, because the quality of the writing, (as far as I went with it), didn't seem all that crash hot to me.
If you are like my friend Ange, and love soppy stories, you will like this. If you thought 'Love Story', was great, (Ange did!), you will love this.
I like strategy, battles, blood, mud, and politics, so it isn't any wonder I was bored. There were no blood soaked berserkers or crumbling galactic empires on the first few pages, so no wonder I wasn't gripped. Give me a clean death by the sword any day, over all this angst-ing.
I'd just been reading Arthur Cheney Train's old lawyering stories, so it's no wonder this looked bad in comparison anyway. I'll admit I had seen the film trailer, and that made me wanna puke, so that may have coloured my opinion somewhat.show more

DON'T DO IT!!!!
No you should, if your ok to cry for around two hours (minimum).
But a beautiful written book, just like all of John Green's other books.
The story of two cancer ridden teens that well, have an epic tale of their love.
Definitely worth the few hours of reading and aimed for teens to adults.
Worth the money.
P.S. Buy tissues, you'll thank me.show more
